Nabhi Chakra

The left Nabhi corresponds with the sustenance of our family and household. The family unit is one of the most important components of society. If the household peace is disturbed, then the state of each individual is often significantly affected. Our family home is also the foundation of our emotional stability. 

To nourish this chakra, we can make an effort to take care of our family and household matters with love, respect and unity. Selfishness, greed, or a reluctance to fulfil our familial duties can prevent us from ever feeling truly satisfied.

The central Nabhi governs our overall sense of satisfaction. As human beings have evolved, so have our needs to achieve satisfaction. First, we fulfil our basic needs for food and shelter. Once these needs are met, we tend to search for something more to feel fulfilled and content. 

By nurturing this center we can establish an innate sense of peace within, which cannot be achieved through further accumulation of material wealth. Miserliness or desire for money for the sake of money, may block this center and stagnate our growth. Conversely, practicing generosity elevates us and can bring a deep sense of satisfaction.

Along with the right Swadisthan, the right Nabhi is also located over the liver. The right Nabhi governs our mental aspect of satisfaction. If we are constantly thinking and worrying, the liver can overheat and this chakra can become imbalanced. If we are particularly stressed, we may be easily irritated, disorganised, and our health may be affected. 

Therefore worrying, particularly about money or material satisfaction, disrupts our sense of peace and may disturb those around us. On the other hand, putting our concerns into perspective and rising above them gives us a dignified and relaxed demeanour, which has a calming effect on those around us.
